Huron PD Looking for Solutions to Staffing Issues

 

Monday night, the city heard a report on police force staffing from Huron police chief Kevin Van Diepen.

There are currently 26 officers with the Huron Police Dept. Van Diepen says that below the national average.

Van Diepen says the department has been dealing with an increase in service calls in recent years with the same number of officers.

The department’s case load is also on the rise.

Van Diepen is preparing a proposal for the city to consider that will include incentives to help attract and retain officers.
